My brother has a friend and has a bunch of oil and fuel filters and wanted to know if I wanted them. I asked what year and sub-model he had, but my brother did not know. So does anyone know of a site that would tell me?

Remove the wheel, remove the fender liner (breaking several plastic clips), restore the line. It appears to be a friction fit. No idea why it came off, but there is not much room for a jubilee clamp - nor did i have one small enough. So friction fit it will remain.

Since I had on side fender liner off, i figured it was a good time to clean the rads and polish up the grills. 1) I took apart the front. 2) I relocated the frunk reopener wire to be marginally more accessible. 3) separated the rads from the condensers. 4) hosed off the dried with a leaf blower.

There was perhaps 2 pounds of stuff in there. Leaves, rocks, broken glass, dirt, fur looking stuff, grass, pine needles, sticks and a lot of sand. when shoveled up, it filled most of a garbage bag meant for my desk wastepaper basket.A whole lotta crud, but mostly jammed in the far most corner of the rads and the rubberized tunnel. Only maybe a quarter of the the rads were covered - but that was plenty.

Upon replacing the front bumper cover, there were a handful of mounting holes that had been widened over the years to the point that screws no longer fit properly. I repurposed the broken plastic clips to be washers for the mounting screws. The bumper cover is now more secure.I had a number of plastic clips that I bought for other projects. Mostly Subaru and BMW types. They worked fine to mount the inner fender well liners.

After restoring the front, I checked on the presumed oil leak I cleaned up a month or so ago. The Oil that was on the top and left side of the engine did not recur. That area is dry as a bone. There does appear to be a leak in the RMS area though. It is clearly not "new" but it is more obvious after I cleaned all the gunk off the bottom of the engine. Let's hope it is the RMS or the through bolts. I do not like the alternative. I was planning for IMS surgery, but that has been put off by the state of emergency. I suspect I will revert to the original plan - to wait for a new clutch to be needed. At 80K, that cannot be too, too long???

In any event - It was a nice day. Not too hot, nice breeze. I good way to be productive and social distance.]]>JMstamford,ctMain ForumMon, 25 May 2020 18:26:42 -0400http://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,53160,53160#msg-53160Brake wear sensor (4 replies)http://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,53160,53160#msg-53160ParalizerMain ForumTue, 26 May 2020 19:37:07 -0400http://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,53159,53159#msg-53159Memorial Day (3 replies)http://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,53159,53159#msg-53159

At that time, it had a typical new car smell - leather (with outgassing plastics). The issue is the smell has never gone away, and if anything is getting stronger, such that long drives with the top closed are a problem. Plus, six years of new car smell? It's not an unpleasant smell in low doses, but enough is enough. Plus, I have a little time on my hands, courtesy of the pandemic.Symptoms :- Smell returns within a couple hours after a long drive with the top down, parked in the garage.- Cabin Air filters have been changed regularly, serviced by local Porsche dealer.- Smell does not appear to be coming from the AC vents (closing them doesn't reduce the smell's return when parked). -- I've recently cleaned the leather seats and all interior surfaces, to no avail.- I've never seen any drips or "low coolant" warning, but recently topped up the coolant so the pin floats (about 60 ml required). After a couple hours of spirited driving, it required another 50 ml - maybe just returning to equilibrium level?- Smell doesn't appear to be from the closed convertible top itself - because with the car open, I draped a blanket over the interior, and after a few hours the smell was there.- The smell doesn't go away when the car is just sitting in the garage for a couple weeks.

Anyway, I'm perplexed. What am I missing? I called the Porsche dealership, and absent a full inspection, all they could suggest was a ClO2 bomb, which I'd like to avoid.Thanks in advance, and stay healthy.-Dave]]>heimbrodMain ForumTue, 19 May 2020 15:10:40 -0400http://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,53106,53106#msg-53106Looking for a used Porsche?

The system has been empty, I know, at least 6 years of my ownership with both condensers thoroughly blown. I read, that I should introduce PAG 46 air conditioning lubricant oil but how much? Apparently, oil lays in the AC compressor and overfilling the oil in the system can damage it. On test the compressor clutch throws in, so as far as I can tell its ok.My query is, the system needs a total of 195 ml /(6.6 oz), so how do you estimate the amount of oil that should now be put in and secondly how can you test the compressor is working without filling the system with refrigerant?
